I am well into my third batch of bee pollen capsules. The first one was from another source, but the last two were from iHerb ( NOW Bee Pollen Caps ). I was advised to take these by a friend, who was in turn advised by his health trainer. The health benefits would supposedly be reflected in 'general well being'. I am not sure how one would quantify that in tangible terms. However, what I have noted in recent months, whilst on my third batch of the capsules, is that where I have had irritation patches on my arms and legs, these have somewhat receded and not causing any discomfort, without using any medication. I also tend to be vunerable to picking up sore throat and cold infections, especially in the autumn and winter months, particularly from young kids in my household,these infections have not lasted long ( days rather than weeks ), bearing in mind my age ( late 60s ). So, all in all, I do intend to continue taking the bee pollen caps.
